Hi Grant,

Based on the error  "A column named 'Email' already belongs to this DataTable,."  it sounds like you may have attempted to add an email field to the user profile?  Since email is already a set profile and credential field in the DNN core, trying to add one again is causing a conflict.

You can use the core email field in your User Directory.  However, if you want to use a 2nd email field, you will need to give it another label (maybe Personal Email or Email 2).

If you really need to use the label 'email' for your field, you can modify a query to override the core email.

I hope these options help to resolve this situation.  Thanks.

In reading your response to the issue, I was wondering if there could be another reason for the error. An additional email field has never been added in my case, yet I still get the error?
